Double membrane organelles in plant cells and some protozoa that store and make food.

Photosynthetic plastids that contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis.

Colored plastids, derived from chloroplasts, that store pigments like carotenoids.

Colorless plastids that do not contain pigments, used for storage.

Colorless precursors from which plastids develop.

Chloroplasts are green plastids found in plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis.

Chloroplasts have a double membrane structure enclosing a matrix called stroma and thylakoids, which contain chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs sunlight energy for photosynthesis.

Chromoplasts are colorful plastids derived from chloroplasts that store carotenoid pigments, giving plants orange, yellow, or red colors.

Leucoplasts are colorless plastids that store food, typically carbohydrates, in non-photosynthetic parts of plants.
